Transport Configuration: Question

Rules G10 and G11 Reference the assembling and disassembling of a robot into and out of transport configuration before and after matches. We know that we can take appendages off of our robot and put them on.

While they are off, I would assume, but am unsure, that they have to be in compliance with the Trans. Con. Dimensions of 28/42/78 (So essentially your robot and all parts added or removed when off of the field have to be able to fit into a box this size.) Can someone validate that?

This would mean that any horizontal extensions that are not telescoping, cranked, etc., but were instead rigid would have a maximum length of 78 inches due to the height dimensional restrictions while carrying them off field even if not used as a height piece to be used on the robot. Is that correct? Do I need to clarify?

Essentially, you cant carry around a pole in greater length than 6 feet 6 inches and bolt it onto your robot.
